Everything comes at a price, including tomatoes.
Sold to Gondor along trade routes from the south, with high tariffs on the Haradrim tomato growers, to protect Gondorian farmers along the coast of Belfalas in a race to grow the best tomatoes in the world.
But now war is upon them. The men of the south are on their way. Mordor is closing in. The price to protect who controls the tomatoes is high, so high that the steward of Gondor has sent his own son to pay the price.
Who will control the farms of Gondor? Who will sell the best tomatoes?
Who shall reign over the land?
Pierced, as the men who go to battle, the tomato will be no more.
What is the price?
After the battle what shall the tariff policy be? What will tax policy be? Who shall the trade with? Where were the old alliances when Osgiliath fell, unwilling to help protect our sweet tomatoes from the darkness that takes over the skies and poisons the lands.
